Volume 2

Cinema Paradiso

As in Volume 1, compositions by the legendary drummer Paul Motian form the quirky central tenet of Cinema Paradiso Volume 2. The new album by saxophonist Kurt Van Herck, guitarist Willem Heylen and drummer Eric Thielemans – collectively Cinema Paradiso – draws once again on a rich and substantial marathon session.

The line-up and the emphasis on tightly intertwined musical lines suggest the atmospheric layers of sound in the legendary Lovano-Frisell-Motian trio as an obvious point of reference. Five compact songs by the iconic drummer, often disarming in their deceptive simplicity, are brought into playful dialogue with instant compositions and two cover versions in Volume 2: Ballad of the Sad Young Men, Tommy Wolf’s fragile song for The Nervous Set, a somewhat forgotten musical from 1959 about the beat generation and the catchy Windmills of your Mind by Michel Legrand. Cinema Paradiso are an absolute joy to experience live.
